Bon Jovi Opens Up About New Grandkid Adopted by Son and ‘Stranger Things’ Star

The singer joked that he’s a “pain in the butt” as a grandfather.

Jon Bon Jovi has opened up about his son’s decision to marry young and adopt a baby girl. “[Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi] and Jake [Bongiovi] fell in love, and we just thought, okay we’ll support this, and it’s working out,” the 62-year-old Livin’ on a Prayer singer said on the Dumb Blonde Podcast. Millie Bobby Brown, 21, and Jake Bongiovi, 23, got married in a private ceremony last May. In August, the couple shared on Instagram that they had welcomed a baby girl through adoption. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” the post read. Brown had previously revealed that she wanted a big family and mentioned on the SmartLess podcast that her mother was 21 when she had her first child. “Immediately that becomes your grandchild… your baby,” said Jon Bon Jovi, speaking about his relationship with the couple’s baby girl. “It’s beautiful, I want to see pictures like every other day, I’m that pain in the butt guy already,” the new granddad added. Bon Jovi married his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, in 1989, and the couple shares four children. “Our son Jesse [Bongiovi] and his wife are going to have a baby,” Bon Jovi revealed on Monday’s podcast. Jesse Bongiovi, 31, married his wife, Jesse Light, 31, in the same Las Vegas chapel as his parents. “Suddenly, it’s a shift again,” the American singer-songwriter said, reflecting on the expansion of his family.
